Modern engines are built with such close tolerances "break in period" is now more of a tradition then a needed practice. Not to mention that the new metal alloys are much harder then in the past. The reason not all cars come with synthetic in the engine is COST - most manufacturers are worried about the car lasting through warranty - usually 3 years 36,000 miles. The Corvette is a premium car at a premium price - should have a premium oil in it to match.
